I have designed a ton of applications with those 775 motors using the specs published by Banebots (Scorpion, Overclock's robot from last year, had 14 of those bad dads on her), I have never had a case where I said to myself, "those specs are messed up!" When we design our lift to raise 6 totes at 2ft per second, the lift raised 6 totes at 2ft per second.

Of course there is variation from motor to motor but nothing out of the normal manufacturing tolerances (typical for this style of motor is +/-15%).

If you knew what your were doing, those motors were amazing. More power than a Mini-CIM at less that half the weight and volume.

I will serious miss those motors.
